This project is no longer maintained, if the kext is needed you can find it on various OSx86 install DVDs, however I no longer have a copy of the kext/source code, and therefore can not offer it for download.

You should be using Chameleon with a modified smbios.plist now anyway.

Earlier today I made some modifications to the AppleSMBIOS-27 Source.Note: As per usual, this requires PC_EFI

Now a fully working AppleSMBIOS for 10.5.2 is finally available, will all system profiler information including Memory showing correctly (unlike the Netkas release).

This AppleSMBIOS has various new features, including Netkas' Serial Number fix (for applications such as Second Life), along with User-Settable options for Serial Number, BIOSVersion (which is transformed into Boot ROM Version), Memory Speed, and Memory Type. Please see the included User-Commands.rtf for more informations on the user setable options and what they do.

You are able to grab various versions from the downloads section on my website.

Rev. 6 - Versions Available: iMac (for PCs), MacBook (for Laptops)

Also note: Model Identifier can no longer be set by AppleSMBIOS alone, please use netkas' kernel if you want a fake one. His sets it to MacPro3,1 as we discovered what needed to be changed.

Edit: Source Code for this has also been released as required by the APSL v2.0 and Patch is released under GPL v3 - Please see my website for details/download.

24/02/2008- Revision 4 in the works - see here for info.- I'm going to re-itterate the point here that donations are much appreciated... sites like this and working on the projects cost time and money. If you're feeling kind and fancy sending me one, please see the donation page on my site.- Site was down yesterday - It's back up now.- The following are the stats... just for this week.

I see your memory values and mine are the same, is it just a fixed value that you entered?

Thanks mac.nub! Trying ASAP, I'll report back!EDIT:You're right, now all my info is there , also tried CS3 and Final Cut Pro, everything OK. Unfortunately I can no longer play VIDEO_TS folders or ISO files in DVD Player. I got this error:

This is not new, this problem exists with current netka's and vanilla AppleSMBIOS.kext. But with 1.0.11 (ToH's I think) it works fine. Would you take a look at this if you have some spare time? Anyway, thanks a lot for your work pal.

this means next :IODT:/options has nvram options in it, this node creates by appleefinvram.kextif u misses this kext, u will not have this nodeold smbios, 1.0.11, i made there creation of IODT:/options node . so it works for u.to check if IODT:/options works fine, make next thingssudo -s # nvram netkas=rules# nvram -pif u will see there netkas rulesthen it works fine, otherwise it doesn't, and may result in dvd player crash.

Earlier today I made some modifications to the AppleSMBIOS-27 Source.Note: As per usual, this requires PC_EFINow a fully working AppleSMBIOS for 10.5.2 is finally available, will all system profiler information including Memory showing correctly (unlike the Netkas release).CS3 Functions Correctly, Bluetooth etc. Problems are fixed, Memory Information shows properly under System Profiler etc.For now you are able to grab it from the downloads section on my website.Also note: Model Identifier can no longer be set by AppleSMBIOS alone, please use netkas' kernel if you want a fake one. His sets it to MacPro3,1 as we discovered what needed to be changed.Enjoy,~mac.nub

mac.nub With you AppleSMBIOS I get error reading the memory speed

Unfortunately AppleSMBIOS can not detect all memory speeds correctly, this has always been a problem for me with my PC and I am going to release various versions of AppleSMBIOS with memory speeds hardcoded, either that or look into some kind of detection routine.

I see your memory values and mine are the same, is it just a fixed value that you entered?

Manufacturer, Part Number and Serial Number have all been hardcoded from real Apple RAM, as this is needed for it to function correctly.

I've just compiled AppleSMBIOS that has the DVD Player fix. Edit: Now available on my site.I am also compiling versions for Various Memory Speeds/Model Identifiers too which will be put on my site later today.
